Constructive Comments: <\/b>I recognised this as the same artist I had previously reviewed but did continue, hope I have something worthwhile to say and not waste your reviews!Your arrangements are terrific, your guitar playing is spot on. The instrumentation other than the guitar is not pro quality but that’s studio fixable. I’m going to be honest though as I hear it, your singing is good and in tune but I can’t imagine hearing it on the radio. It’s just my opinion, we are all sensitive about our singing, but some of your pronunciation is a little muffled and I don’t think there’s a clear consistent power coming through that I’d like. It’s a little sotto voice or breathy. I mean I’m imagining say Brad Delp or Geddy Lee singing this (It does remind me of that type of US style rock) so it’s a high line. Some of it is levels, in parts your singing is much clearer in terms of pronunciation too, I’d like that across the song.I’m not sure it’s quite grabbing me lyrically either but that probably is even more a question of taste, I mean Rush doesn’t really work for me either! But it’s not super hooky either, again that’s not necessarily required for the style though but I’m not quite getting the story of Adeline.The intro is great but slightly leads me astray, after that I’m expecting something a bit different with some world african sounds. I hear them slightly in the mix after but it’s buried by the more straight ahead Americana style, which works, there’s plenty going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
